On Monday, 16th April, 1838, the Half-yearly General Meeting of the Agricultural and Commercial Bank of Irelanclwas held at the Company's House, Fleet-street, at eleven o'clock. On the motion of J. DWYER, Esq., seconded by S. P.AarEa, Esq., Alderman WILLIAM HODGES (Member of the Board of Directors), was unanimously called to the Chair, and road to the Meeting the Report of the Board as fellows : " GENTLEMEN—In compliance with the resolutions passed at the last half-yearly meeting, the Directors have paid to Proprie tors a balance of 9,0001. received on account of third instalment, and 5,0001. on account of dividend struck in October, 1836. They have also paid off all remaining balances due to bankers, arisinc , from the final close of accounts with them on foot of retur ne d bill s ,' or otherwise—making a total of payments since last meeting, on these accounts, of 24,312/. " Your Directors further proceeded with the gradual reduction of branches in those districts wherein a profitable return had not accrued, and the resumption of discount business, as well as the continuance of the ordinary operation of banking, at those branches which have proved remunerative, and from which past experience demonstrated that a fair profit might be anticipated. The result has been satisfactory, and progressive improvement is manifest both in the business and character of the transactions. The greatest circumspection has been used in the accommodation granted, and the issues at the several branches have been regulated solely by the legitimate action of commerce. " It is gratifying to reflect that the principle of Joint-stock Banks has been fully sustained by your Company, which, notwith standing the unparalleled difficulties in which it was placed by the peculiar crisis of the autumn of 1836, aggravated by the unreason able conduct of a portion of the proprietary, has, in little more than one year, fully and entirely paid off all liabilities existing at the period of the pressure, without loss to any individual, including the full payment and cancelling of the note issue then outstanding ; re suming the ordinary course of business at the agency in Dublin and at twenty of the selected branches, with a new plate and issue, a numerous and wealthy proprietary located in those districts best adapted for profitable commerce. " Your Directors trust that consideration for the welfare of the country will induce the other Joint-stock Banks in Ireland to act without reference to petty jealousies or narrow objects ; and that they will see that the interests of all parties are best promoted by fairly expanding, in place of unduly cramping, the energies of the country. Its resources are great, and the manner in which the agricultural districts of Ireland have paid off the obligations con tracted therein to your Company, warrant your Board in asserting that they are deserving of encouragement and support ; whilst, on the other hand, improvident speculation should be discouraged, every legitimate assistance should be extended to develope the resources of the country, and assist the industry of the people. A Joint stock Bank should, to a fair extent, sympathise with the popula tion, and not be governed by the merely sordid consideration of pecuniary profit. The nobility and gentry should naturally support those institutions which best support the general interest and per manent welfare of their tenantry. " At this crisis your Board consider that such remarks are not irrelevant, as the subject of the Bank of Ireland Charter (which has, in date, expired) may now be considered as before the Le gislature. Connected as that subject is with the best interests of Ireland and of the empire, your Directors anticipate that no system of expediency or of compromise will retard or control the broad principle involved in freedom of trade ; and that, whilst the Bank Corporation may fairly retain privileges as a chartered body, yet that unwise restrictions upon other banking institutions will be removed, leaving open to all (under such salutary regulations as the wisdom of the Legislature may dictate) the trade of banking free, as in Scotland, unimpeded by invidious monopoly, thus in viting a legitimate rivalry with an equality of rights, (as far as legislation is concerned,) which must conduce to the well-being of the community. " The importance of the subject will naturally ehallenge the at tention of the leading men of all parties ; and your Directors, fully aware of its importance, deem it their duty to call your atten tion to it, and to impress upon the proprietary the utility of exertion to advance the interests of their property, by sealons co-operation with your Board. " In conclusion, your Board feel quite warranted by the progress made since the last meting, in stating their conviction that the prospects of the Company are cheering, the best evidence of which will be found in the statement of assets and liabilities now sub mitted to you, which, with the guarantee of a numerous and wealthy proprietary (registered pursuant to the provisions of 6 Geo. IV., chap. 42), present a security to the public for the transac tions of your Company of an undoubted character. Without enter ing into minute particulars as to the nature of your surplus assets (amounting to 261,1971.) your Board feel justified in giving their opinion that, making those allowances which are usually incidental to banking transactions, an available capital, adequate for the dee conduct of twenty branches, with perfect security to the public, combining safety and profit to the proprietary, may be fairly counted upon. Your Board refrains from adverting to the pleasing con trast which the present state of your Company preterits to that which twelve months ago was sought to be imposed upon you, under circumstances rendered the more peculiar from results since ascer tained, the best vindication of the Board is found in dee fact of your present position—with all liabilities then existing paid off, the security of the shareholders demonstrated, and the property of the Company (in place of being wasted by litigation) preserved with the Institution. . " What has passed, however, may be buried in oblivion, and union, perseverance, and fair reciprocity inculcated for the general good. " Signed on behalf of the Daily Board, " JOHN VANCE (Belfast), Chairman." Adopted by the General Meeting, WM. HODGES (Alderman) Chairman. It was then moved by WILLIA.m EDMONSTON, of Belfast, Esq. ; and seconded by Mr. JOHN M'Coy, of Clones : Resolved—That the Report and Accounts now submitted be received and entered on the minutes. Moved by JAMES DwrER, Esq. ; and secondedbyßWHlTE, Esq.: Resolved—That we approve of the limitation of Branches which has taken place, as mentioned in the Report ; and we further re commend such judicious curtailment of those existing Branches as the opinion of the Board, upon full investigation, may point out as proper and expedient. Moved by FRANCIS WELDON, of Lisburn, Esq. ; seconded by JOHN CHAMBERS, Esq.: Resolved—That we recommend that every practisable measure of prudent economy shall be observed coincident with the judicious lo cation and curtailment of branches. Moved by HExaT WATsoic, Esq., J. P., seconded by W. H. N. DOWNER, Esq., Resolved—That we earnestly impress on the Proprietors the great advantage which must be derived from strenuous eo• operation in the several localities, to advance the interests of the Company by judicious and solleetive exertion. (Signed) WILLIAM HODGES, Chairman. JOSEPH R. PIM, Esq., was then called to the Chair, and it was Mond by JAioEs DWYER, Esq., and seconded by P. JONES, Esq., and resolved unanimously, That the warm thanks of the Proprietors are due and hereby given to Alderman Hodges, for his proper and dignified conduct in the Chair, and his zealous exertion at all times to promote the in terests of our native Institution. _ _ _ Resolved—That the Report and Resolutions be eirculated amongst the Proprietors, under the direction of the Board.

" The scene of this work opens in the wilds of Tartary, then passes to Hindostan, at a period when that region was in the height of its splendour under the Mogul Emperor, next traverses the Himalayan Mountains, and the enchanting vallies of Cashmere, and finally returns to Hindustan. Thus the author has been able to avail himself of all that is sublime and beautiful in the most pictu resque territories of the East; and by adding to these natural at tractions a story of the most intense interest, and the seductive traditions of a eountry famed for those tales which have commande d the admiration of age and youth in every land, he has succeeded i n producing one of the most charming ro man c e s we have ever perused."—Dublin Morning Register.

On Saturday a sumptuous complimentary entertainment was given in Merchant Tailors'-hall, to Sir Robert Peel, Bart., by 313 Conservati►e Members of the House of Commons, as a mark of their admiration and respect for his personal character and undeviating confidence in his ta lents, sagacity and prudence, as the great political leader of the party.

Egerton, Lady Wilton, Lady G. Somerset, Lady Graham, &c. The dinner, which was supplied by Mr. Lovegrove, embraced every delicacy of the season, with wines of the rarest quality iced to a nicety.

" God save the Queen." The CHAIRMAN said, the next toast was one which he was confident they would receive with the warmest approbation, he might acid, with their affectionate regard—" The health of the Queen Dowager."—(Loud cheers.) He felt assured the amiable qualities of that illustrious person would ever endear her to the recollections of the British nation.— (Cheers.) Ile begged to couple with her health the rest of the Royal Farnily..--(Three-times-three.) " Hall, smiling morn." The CHAIRMAN in proposing the next toast said, he felt confident that by so large a number of the Conservative Members of the House of Commons it would be received with expressions of regard and affection which would make that magnificent hall ring with their applause, and prove to the country the high regard in which they held his Right Hon. Friend.—(Loud ch eers. ) Th e toast he should now take the liberty o f proposing was, he might say, the great toast of the evening —the health of their distinguished guest the Right Honourable Sir Robert Peel.—(Vthement cheering.) In the whole of his public career he was sure his Right Honourable Friend never experienced so mu. h pride, pleasure, and gratification as he did at this mo ment, the guest of 313 Conservative Members of the House of Corn. mons.—(Cheers.) His Right Hon. Friend held the high and distill guishei position of being at the head of a party more powerful than ever was known in the British House of Commons as an opposition to the existing Adnsinistration—(Cheers)—powerful indeed, inasmuch as it enabled him to keep in cheek the Administration, and prove to them, that although not the Minister of the Crown, they would only pass such measures as bethought conducive to the liberties of tie people and the Interest: of the country at large.—(Cheers.) Looking back to the pub. lie conduct of his Right Hon. Friend, it was not many years ago since they saw him at the head of power, ruling this country, but compelled to retire from the councils of his Sovereign by the passing of resolutions the effact of which had not yet been ascertained, but which might still he disastrous to the interests of our Protestant establishment.—(Hear.) It would soon, however, be seen whether the principles which actuated his Right Hon. Friend, or those who succeeded him in office, were the best; but in their opinion, and he believed in the opinion of the country, no man ever resigned the helm of power with greater honour or enjoying more the confidence of the nation than his Right lion. Friend —(Loud cheers.) Although he was not her Majesty's prin cipal adviser, yet as the leader of such a Conservative Opposi. lion he had the proud satisfaction of knowing that he could check the career of revolution in the country—(Cheers)—and whenever he pleased to put himself at their head and look to office, he was confident the country would respond no one was more fit for the situation of Prime Minister than his Right Hon. Friend.—(Loud cheers.) It could not be long before, with the extraordinary power and confidence which had been reposed in him by the country, he would again be placed in the proud situation of Prime Minister of England.—(Loud cheers.) Then the liberal statesmanlike measures which he had prepared as Minister of the late King would be carried into effect, and render him one of the most popular, as he was the most honest and best of Minister., that ever ruled over this country. For his own part, with the most fervent feel ings, and he was sure he spoke their sentiments also of regard for the individual publicly and privately, personally and politically, he begged to give " The health of the Right Hon. siir Robert Peel, and may he long enjoy life and happiness, and rule over this country as a Minister." (The toast was drunk with nine distinct and most hearty rounds of cheers, the ladies in the galleries joining in the compliment by waving their handkerchiefs ) Sir R. PzEr.., on presenting himself, was received with renewed shouts of applause, loud and long continued. When the cheering had sub sided the Right Hon. Baronet said—l am deeply grateful for the mo- tives which have influenced you in paying to me this mark of re spect, unparalleled in the political. annals of this country—(Cheers) —and for the corresponding feelings with which you have just re ceived the proposition of my Noble Friend. I wish I had any corn. 'nand over language, at least over appropriate and befitting lan_ guago, to convey to you the sensations which, as you must per ceive, almost overpower me.—(Loud cheers.) But I feel it infi nitely better to appeal to your own feelings to form an estimate of the state of my mind—to the consciousness of each of you, that were you placed in my present situation you would rather remain per- Lctly silent tharrtry to express your gratitude in any of the trite and exhausted forms of complimentary acknowledgment.—(Cheers.)

By this meeting you have done much more my satisfaction.—you have given a public demonstration that object to which for some years past my exertions have been mainly di rected has been complet el y accomplished. My object for some years pist—that for which I have chiefly laboured, has been to lay the founda. tions of a great party; which, existing the House of Commons, and de. riving its strensth from the popular will, should diminish the risk and deaden th e shock of collisions between the two delibera. live branches of the Le g islature—(loud cheers ) —which should be en. in tha t t he constitution and laws of this abled to check the too impatient eagerness of the well.intentioned for the repre pitate cha re i m ig Li e n s g country—(Cheers) —and say with a voice of authority to the restless spirit of revolutionary encroachment, " Here are the bounds by which hasty and I,reci "—(Loud cheers.)

Ther of a mixed Th ere were at that pe riod in operation other disturbing causes, which had fl probably mai n ly in uenced that change of o p inion which ra p idl y too k place with respect t o t h e n ecessity of R e form. There had been lately exhibited to astonished Europe those events in France which in three short days had trampled in the dust an ancient dynasty—(Beer, hear) —which ich had shown phy. s eal power triumphant over constituted authority, what is much more i m portant, had ranged the sympathies of mankind, and, not in favour of constituted authorities, but in favour of those who appeared to be re. s i st ipg violations of the law and constitution of that country. I did not disguise from myself the difficulties that attended the formation of such a party. Our own part, had been reduced by the Reform Bill to little more than 100 Ai embers; ; at least I believe that in the Ses. sion which Elthat lowed the passing of ' Act not more than 100 Mem- Vera voted with me upon any occasion. But I did not d , ' ispair.—(Loud cheers.) How could I despair? I was acting in intimate concert an d union with that illustrious man the Duke of Wellington--(Loud c hoers)—whose name does not shed lustre merely on a party, or on the country which he has defended, but sheds a lustre on the age in which he lives.—(Continued cheering.) I was acting in intimate union with that man, who h as exhibited through life " qualities that are rare," as oneilas som ew h ere sa i d, " i n their separate excellence, but wonder f u l in their combination " — ( Great / cheering)—that man who is not without ambition s without periods of his lif e, alloys—.(Cheers)—who has shown at different both in military ' • and civil alFairs, a combination of the rarest fortitude and ' valour with the greatest circumspection and pro. who has in dance— (Cheers)—wh o has, I neednot speak of his military life, but civil at life one time stood forward to assume upon his own undivided responsibility ' the whole chargeand functions of a Government —(Loud cheers) without eced ent for the purpose of exhibiting an instan c e of self-denial Pr (Loud cheers)—and who at other to times, when the sense of Public dirty prompted him, has had the real courage to assume and to mai ntain a defe n sive attitude—(Loud cheers) — a n d , i f I ma y s o within speak, retire the moral lines which are fortified by circurn. spection, prudence, and resolution.—(Loud cheers.) It was aided b y his autho r i ty and with his co-operation that I did look forward ultimately to the formation b e li eve of such a party as that of wh ich I s p eak. I did that the sense of this country would u ltimatel y rally round aparty good that did n ot profess hostility to improvemen t —(Cheers)—but manifested a determination to abide b leading - y the principles British Consti tuti°n•—(Loud cheers.) Ay, but allow me also to say, that I did look forward with confidence to the ultimate form ation of that ha ppy union that now subsists between us and many to whom we had been formerl y uil cheers.) I looked forwa rd to it with confidence, be. vposed._,l, caose 1 relied upon their adherence to the principles which they pro. fessed—b us .a eca e I heard them say, and I belie ved them when the y ' RI, they desired :ed ge d that Reform should be accordin g to the acknow. principl es of the Constitution ; because 1 heard them declare that in their opinion it would add new stability to tile settled institutions of the country in a e—( , eers) e ause heard them de.

I did thi n k , without lout having then any personal acqu aintance with them, hat union must tot the Oirsprinig i f litmately be formed—not the resul t of conferences — negotiations, but originally brought a bout b y the •Orce of circumstances by the sense of a common dange r—(Cheers)— mil which should afterwards erwards be cemented by mutual co-operation, by reciprocal confidence and respect.—(Loud cheers.) I saw them the chief pride, ornament, and mainstays of the party with which they were then associated —(Chee I 13 . ) " Expert° credite, quantus In clypeum assurgat quo turbine torqueat hastam "—(Loud cheers.) knew the sacrifices they would be called upon to make. I was the man who could well judge how painful is the separation from old party recol lections—what a sacrifice it is to forego adh erence to party engage menU, from an overpowering sense of public duty.—(Loud cheers.) I knew well it was not the loss of power or the clouded prospects of official life, but I knew how painful was the averted eye and the alienated aspect of personal friends whom they had sincerely loved and respected—(Cheers) —I knew this sacrifice they would be called on to make, without the prospect of that generous construction which I myself had experienced— (Loud cheers)—but I had such confidence in their acuteness, that it would enable them to discriminate between the path which leads to im provement and that which leads to revolution, and I had such confidone3 in their integrity and moral courage, that convinced me, when that dis crimination had been made, office, friendships. party connexions—all would be sacrificed, rather than they would be parties to any attempt to undermine the Protestant establishments of this country, or disturb the mixed Government of a temperate monaxchy.—(Loud cheers.) As I said before, without conference, without anyother negociation than that which led to the rejection of office, when removed from office that union has been f ormed—(Cheers)—and I think I may say that the anticipations, the fond hopes I entertained, that once formed it must gain strength from reciprocal esteem and confidence, have also been realized. — (Cheers.) Thus has this party been brought into existence, and we have this day fresh evidence of the strength it has acquired.—(Cheers.) It has been submitted twice to the test of public opinion. Twice has a dissolution taken place under circumstances calculated to determine whether this party has or has not the public confidence. One dissolu tion took place when it was in power, the other when power was in the hands of its opponents. On the first dissolution, which took place in 1885, when I was at the head of the Government of the country, the Conservative numbers were suddenly swollen from about 150 to more than double that number.—(Loud cheers.) I believe we divided on the nomination of Speaker 306 members.—(Loud cheers.) But it was then said, " You owe success to the possession of power; wait till another dis. solution takes place—wait till your opponents exercise those functions of Government which you discharged when Parliament was assembled in 835, and be prepared for a reduction in your numbers more rapid and striking than their increase."—(Hear, hear.) Well, to that second test we have at length been submitted.—(Cheers.) The dissolution took place in the course of the last year with every circumstance calculated to be favourable to those in power,—(Cheers.) There was the accession of a youthful and beloved Queen—(Cheers)—there was one universal feeling of personal loyalty and attachment towards the Sovereign ascending the Throne, with everything to prepossess in her favour.— (Cheers.) There was a lavish use of her Majesty's name for the pur pose of influencing the elections.—(Loud cheers.) There was a curious coincidence--a happy, a fortunate one, for the Government—of de spatches approving of the conduct of public officers printed and circu lated on the eve of a general election.—(Loud cheers.) There was no fastidious delicacy in the choice of candidates; for the hustings of Westminster exhibited a Secretary of State voting in favour of one who had defended insurrection in Canada, and warmly advocated the cause of the Canadian revolt—(Loud cheers)—and yet, notwithstanding this combination of favourable circumstances—the accession of her Majesty, the prodigal use of her name, the absence of all squeamish scruples in the selection of candidates—still the result of the general election exhi bited our numbers unbroken; for, as we voted 306, having had all the advantages of dissolution during the tenure of Government, the names attached to the invitation of this day, comprising 313 Members of the House of Commons, will, I think; sufficiently demonstrate that, notwith. standing the adverse predictions to the contrary, the public confidence has not permitted our numbers to be reduced in consequence of the se cond dissolution. My Noble Friend has justly said, that in the whole course of my public life no event has been so gratifying and satisfactory as the meeting of this day : but there is connected with it one feeling of a more serious and anxious character, which chastens and subdues the disposition to triumph and self-gratulation. I don't disgui+e from myself the power I possess in consequence of your esteem and confidence ; and when I see the numbers that surround me—when I recollect the great interests you represent—when I recollect that by the Clergy, by the Ma gistrates, by the Yeomen, by the Gentry, by the great proportion also of the trading community of this country we are supported—(Cheers)—it would be vain to disguise from ourselves the influence we possess in the national councils.—(Loud cheers.) But the feeling which, as I said before, subdued in some degree those which vanity or personal gratula tion might inspire is one of anxiety, that as I possess your confidence, I may exercise the power which it confers upon me, in such a manner as may contribute to the permanent interests of this party—(Cheers)—and that by no act, by no advice of mine, your interests and honour be corn promised.—(Loud cheers.) The possession of strength, the demon strotion of power, naturally brings with it some slight inconvenience.— (Cheers.) There is impatience in some quarters, that seeing the strength we possess, it is not called into more frequent action,--(Cheers.) Allow me to observe that if I have a well-grounded title to your confidence, it is because I have always ventured respectfully but explicitly to state my opinion, and give the best advice I could, even though sometimes it should not be in precise conformity with the prevailing sentiment— (Cheers)—but the seception I have uniformly met with has always em. boldened me to take that course, fully confident you would put a proper construction on my motives.—(Loud cheers.) It is said, and justly said, that the Opposition is now conducted on different principles from those on which opposition would be conducted to us if we were in power.— (Cheers.) Nothing can be more perfectly true than that.—(Cheers.) But we must bear in mind, that the particular course .vhich an Oppo sition should take must partly depend on the principles they maintain— (Cheers.) Our most impatient friends in the country must recollect that our vepy name almost implies a contradiction; we are a Conserva tive Opposition; we adopt the principles which used to be said to prevail in an Administration ; we not only adopt the principles of a Government, but we perform many of its functions—(Loudcheers)—and it must be borne in mind, that we cannot, in conformity with our opi nions, take that latitude of action which might befit an Opposition acting on precisely contrary principles.—(Cheers.) An Opposition which professed to think the ancient institutions of this country a grievance, which considered Eaglish society a mass of abuse, has a double ground of opposition against a Government ; it has, first, the ground of personal dissatisfaction with the course taken by Government, censuring and disapproving of the acts of Government, together with no indisposition to inflame popular discontent against the institutions of the country..—(Cheers.) But we must bear in mind that our duty prescribed to us by our principles is to maintain the ancient institutions of this country.—(Loud cheers.) We have no desire to exalt the au thority of the House of Commons above the prerogative of the Crown— (Cheers)—we have no desire to undermine the privileges of the House of Lords—(Loud cheers)—on the contrary it is our duty to defend there.—(Cheers.) The field of opposition occupied by those who seek to reduce and cripple our establishments is denied to us, because we wish to see the naval and military establishments of the country main tained in proper vigour and efficiency.—(Cheers.) It is not for us to , . _ inflame popular discontent by the exaggeration of public abuses.— (Cheers.) Nor can we lend the Crown our arm to shake or curtail the liberties of the people.—(Cheers.) And, therefore, in estimating the course we have adopted, those who feel some impatience with our ap parent indifference and passiveness should always recollect that the principles maintained by zn Opposition do impose some practical re. straint on the conduct they must pursue —(Loud cheering.) I said, and I said with perfect truth, that we maintain the principles and per form some of the functions of a Government.—(Cheers.) I will prove this to be the case —that the position of the Administration and the Go. ♦ernment is inverted—th it we hold the principles generally said to be long to Government, repudiating those which are powerful instruments when wielded by Opposition. I heard it laid down, some months since, as the principle 011 which a Government must be conducted, that there should be a constant concession to popular demands. That is an excel. lent and most convenient doctrine for an Opposition, but a dangerous and hazardous one for a Government. It was possible for Mr. Fox to hold in Opposition language of this kind. In 1797, speaking of Ire land, he said, " I would therefore concede, and if I found I had not conceded enough, I would concede more. I know no way of govern. ing mankind, but by conciliating them ; and, according to the for cible way which the Irish have of expressing their meaning—' I know of mode of governing the people, but by letting them have their own way.' "—(A laugh.) The leader of the House of Commons, Lord John Russell, being in office, said he adopted that principle of Mr. Fox's, as the best for conducting the Government of the country—(Cheers)— and, of course, nothing could equal the satisfaction created among the popular party, or the compliments which were paid to the wise and Liberal Minister who avowed such a canon of Government. (Cheers.) A few months elapsed, and the people of Lower Canada re solved to ',put this favourite principle to the test.—(Cheers.) It was fairly put to the test, and then it was discovered that there must be other modes of governing the people then by letting them have their own way—(Cheers) ; it was found that the principle, however convenient for an irresponsible Opposition, was a dangerous principle for a Minister to apply to the Government of a great empire, or a portion of it, that when he found he had not conceded enough, he should go on always conced ing more; and it became absolutely necessary practically to convince the people of Lower Canada, that however enlightened and liberal the principle might be in theory, they must form the first exception to the rule.—(Loud cheers.) So much for the principle of the Government. Now, I want to convince you, that we have also been exercising some of the practical functions of a Government, so far as the Legislature is con cerned. I will select three main questions, without going through the great number of di►isions in which, without the aid of the Conservative party, Her Majesty's Government must frequently have had to la ment the smallness of their numbers in competion with their Radi cal allies.—(Cheers, and hear, hear.) I will take three questions —one connected with the religious establishments of the country, another connected with an important branch of domestic industry and internal commerce, and the third connected with the foundations of civil go vernment, and the maintenance of the constitution of the House of Commons. The first question to which I refer merely as a specimen— for there are hundreds of others—the first I select is the motion made in the year 1837 for excluding the Bishops from the House of Lords— " for relieving them," I believe it was called, " from the performance of their legislative duties in Parliament."—(Cheers.) That motion was manfully resisted, as far as speeches went, by her Majesty's Ministers; it was resisted also by ourselves; but coming to the division, the ayes in favour of excluding the bishops were 92, the noes 197—(Cheers)—the adherents of the Government mustering only 50, whilst the Conser vatives numbered 147.—(Loud cheers,) That is the first proof I give that I am not overstating our strength and influence, when I say that we do execute some of the important functions of government.— (Cheers.) The second question involved the repeal of the Corn Laws. On that oceasiun (in 1838) the ayes were 95, the noes, 300—(cheers) — but 226 of the 300 were Conservatives—(Loud cheers)—the Whigs only mustering 74, being, in fact, in a minority of 21. (Loud cheering.) The last question to which I would refer, also in the pt esent session, is the vote by Ballot. Don't let it be said that lam overrating the importance of that question. The vote by Ballot was declared by the Minister of the Crown in the House of Commons to be not only important in itself, but as involving mighty changes in the re presentative constitution of this country.—(Cheers.) It was said, and truly in my opinion, that vote by Ballot must lead to extended suffrage, to shorter Parliaments, to a complete revolution in the constitution and practice of the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) It was resisted ou that ground—not merely on the abstract objection to the Ballot, but be cause it was interwoven necessarily with other and more important con requences.—(Cheers.) There voted for the Ballot 198; against it 315 —(Cheers)---254 being Conservatives—(Cheers), and only 61, com posed of those who, acknowledging the Minister as their leader, sup. ported him in the objections be had taken to the adoption of that mea sure.—(Cheers.) Now where had those questions beer if we had aban• dolled our duty, and left the conflict to be decided between the strength of the Government and their opponents on those various occasions ? (Loud cheers.) But we have also had other opportunities of ex. pressing our opinions in disapprobation of the policy of Govern. ment. It has been our duty to hang over them the rod of cep. sure—( Loud cheer,;—and when my Noble Friend brought forward the expenses of Lord Durham's mission to Canada, which Ministers construed into a motion of censure, that rod was pre vented from falling on their head; by only two voles.—(Loud cheers.) But I should not, when speaking of the Ballot, have omitted to say, that it is absolutely necessary we should continue, as my Noble Friend said, united in our resistance to those great constitutional changes--(Cheers) —because see what has taken place since the question of the Ballot was decided. The Government, some of the leading members of which pro fessed so strongly to repudiate that measure, but which only mustered 61 votes against it—that Government showed themselves so grateful for h enUistanCe .ued thane. and _ t e . PITr kie_ on the first opportunity which occurred of snaking el high and confidential office connected with tie selected for it not an opponent of the Ballot, buy an wh had voted in its favour.—(Cheers.) I say, then, contintef -, firmly united in our determination to resist those tution c hanges.—(Cheers.) I ask those friends who are . .or trioreSk Art decisive action, to remember the steps by which our _ "has been daily advancing. I call upon them to remember that it has been by moderation, by prudence, by an undeviating adherence to our principles that we have attainel our present position.—(Cheeers.) This I advis e that on every occasion, be the consequence what it may, we should resist the acts of the Government when we believe them to be injurious--(Cheers)—and avoid no fitting opportunity of enforcing the principles we maintain—(Cheers);—that for the purpose of averting any change in the Government, we should, on no account, abate in the slightest degree one of those principles which we consider essential to the security of our institutions in Church and State—(Cheers) ;—but I do hope we shall never be betrayed, for the sake of any temporary ad. vantage, into an union with those from whose principles we wholly disagree.—(Loud cheers.) I also hope that we shall never adopt the advice which we sometimes receive from ardent friends and professed admirers—namely, to abandon altogether our duty in the House of Commons, for the purpose of creating embarrassment, by leaving the Government to fight it out by themselves. My firm belief is, that by steadily performing our legislative functions, by attending to our duty, by censuring Ministers, or attempting to censure them, when censure may be required, on all occasions by enforcing our principles, by amend ing their measures where they require amendment, though at the same time we should rescue them from temporary embarrassment, yet we shall thereby be establishing new claims on the public approbation (Cheers.) It is not our fault if our efforts have someiimcs been un successful. On several occasions, when we might Lave relied on the assertion of principles maintained when in Opposition by many sit. ring now on the Ministerial side of the House, we found that as soon as the question threatened the existence of the Government, ancient princi ples were forgotten, and the only consideration was, how Ministers could best be maintained.—(Cheers) It is not, to be sure, a very satisfactory mode ofjustification and escape to be told, as the Government constantly are by their friends, •' You arc decidedly in the wrong—you deserve cen sure; but rather than inflict it on you, I will vote in your favour, in order that you may have space for repentance "—(Cheers.) This re minds me of a proposition made upwards of an hundred years ago by :Mr. Addison, who, lamenting the violence of party feeling, the heats and resentments which appeared to him to obstruct the 'execution of the public service, suggested that some bond of union, 'some form of association, might be produced, which should combine neutral men in defence of their common rights. He thought it might be possible to frame some covenant which all moderate men might subscribe and co-operate only for the public good. But he found the greatest difficulty in drawing up the terms of this association; however, after much reflection he thought he had hit on the form of covenant which all moderate men might subscribe. I will read to you the form of the Association which Mr. Addison pro posed ; certainly his expectations that men might be found to subscribe the covenant do not appear at first sight unreasonable ; but I want to know if even this moderate form ef subscription would embrace all in these times. Mr. Addison, in 1711, proposed this as the form of an Association—" We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, do solemnly declare, that we do in our conscience believe that two and two make four, and that we shall adjudge any man to be our enemy who endea vours to persuade us to the contrary. We are likewise ready to main tain, at the hazard of all that is near and dear to us, that six is less than seven in all times and places. We do also firmly declare, that it is our resolution as long as we live to call black black and white white ; and we shall upon all occasions oppose such persons as upon any day of the year shall vote black to be white, or white to be black with the ut most perils of our lives and fortunes."—(A laugh.) Now, if Mr. Addison were alive we could prove to him that his form of Association would not be applicable to the present times, but that he must so model it as that it should run thus—" That we will on all occasions, upon any day of the year, vote black to be white, or white to be black, whenever her Ma jesty's Government may be in danger."—(Loud cheers and laughter.) That form of covenant will insure more signatures than the test Mr. Addison proposed—namely, consenting that two and two make four, and that on every day in the year black shall be considered black, and white, white.—(Continued cheers and laughter.) But lam aware I have de. tained you too long—(Cheers) —and in drawing my observations to a close, let me express an anxious hope that this meeting may supply a new bond of connexion to this party; and that the recollections of this day may long animate us in active and united co-operation.—(Loud cheers.) I believe the motto of this ancient Company under whose roof we are now assembled is this—Concordia res pares crescent.—(Cheers.) These words are taken from the dying admonition which was addressed by Micipsa to Jugurtha and his sons, when he exhorted them to maintain concord and union as one main instrument and essential condition of success—Concordia res parts crescunt. He added, with equal truth, discordia maximec dilabuntur.—(Loud cheers.) We have profited by the maxim involved in the first part of the sentence— (Loud cheers)—by concord, by good understanding, and union, we have increased from small beginnings to strength and in fluence, which is now all but predominant.—(Continued cheering.) The solemn warning involved in the latter part—the warning that the utmost prosperity and apparent success are endangered by discord and disunion, is not necessary for our admonition. We feel deeply and intimately, that in the union of the Conservative party of this country, Is one of the best guarantees for internal tranquillity, and the mainte nance of oar ancient institutions. It is impossible, I think, to look around upon the condition of affairs without some feelings of anxiety and apprehension. I wish not to exaggerate them in the slightest de gree, but still it cannot be denied that there are causes for anxiety and distrust. If we look at time financial condition of the country, we find a defalcation of revenue with a fair prospect of increased expenditure. If we look to our colonial possessions, we find in the chief of them heartburnings that follow a recently-suppressed insurrection, and the dying embers of revolt ready to be fanned into flame by an external spirit which appears to defy all controul.—(Loud cheering.) If we look to our foreign relations, we find civil discord still prevailing in the most important parts of the peninsula; civil discord fomented, I must always think, by our presumptuous and unnecessary interference. If we look to those countries of Europe which from local situation and the relations Nature has established have been considered the intimate and na tural allies of England—if we look to Portugal and Hollaud, we shall find in the one a government established at once the child and champion of anarchy and in both the name of England and Englishmen contemplated with very different feelings from those with which we were accustomed to be regarded in days gone by.—(Cheers.) We are indeed in the enjoyment of peace, but we have not that confidence—we do not see prevailing throughout Europe that confidence which ought to be its attendant.—(Cheers.) We do not find in contemplating our foreign relations that any one of the questions which most materially involve the maintenance and continuance of peace approaches nearer to a settlement than it did several years since. —(Cheers.) Whether we look at the relations of Holland to Belgium, or the state of the contro versy relative to the American boundary on the north-east of the Uni ted States, I think I am warranted in saying that the great questions by which peace may be disturbed, and without the solution of which there can be little guarantee for its continuance, still remain unsettled. These are reasons not for despondence nor unmanly fear, but for con tinued exertion and union among the members of the Conservative party.—(Loud cheers.) By that union we shall best be enabled to maintain the mild predominance of the Protestant faith in every part of the United Kingdom ; by that union, and by it atone, we stall be enabled to promote what we call Conservative principles.— (Loud cheers.) If asked " What do you mean by Conservative principles ?" as we are sometimes taunted with giving a vague and unsatisfactory de. scription of them, I would, in conclusion, briefly state the meaning I attach to them. By Conservative principles, then, I mean, and I be lieve you mean, the maintenance of the prerogative of the Monarchy, the maintenance of the just powers and attributes of Queen, Lords, and Commons of the country—(Cheers),—and the determination to resist every encroachment which can curtail the just rights and settled pri vileges of one or other of those three branches of the Constitution.— (Cheers.) By Conservative principles we mean, that co-existent with the equality of civil rights and privileges, there shall be an established religion, paid and encouraged by the State—(Cheers) ;—and that this established religions shall maintain the doctrines of the Protestant Re formed faith.—(Loud cheers.) By Conservative principles we mean a steady resistance to every project for the alienation of Church pro perty from strictly spiritual purposes.—(Cheers.) We do not mean to raise an unnecessary cry, to serve a political end, that the Church is in danger; but we do put it to every reasonable man to say whether those proposals do not endanger the Church, which if car ried into effect would, in Ireland, alienate from the establishment a cer tain proportion ef her property, in violation of binding compacts and the most solemn assurances, and devote it to the purposes of education, ex. Pressly excluding instruction in the main principles and precepts of the Protestant religion—(Cheers)—we do put it to every reasonable man to say whether, although their property be improved, If concurrently the bishops in England should be made stipendiaries of the State, the Church could be free from danger, its own revenues being applied to relieve pro. perty from a burden to which it has been immemorially subject—. (Cheers)—if those two measures, the unlimited alienation of Church property in Ireland to secular purposes, aunt the application of the eccle siastical revenues in England to the relief of property from charges to whirls it has always been liable, thereby threatening the dissolution of that connection between Church and State implied in the contribution of property to the maintenance of the fabric of the Church, and which Lord Alihorp regarded as essential to the integrity of the establishment—(Cheers)—we do ask, if those two measures were passed, whether they would not greatly endanger the mainte nonce of the establishment in both countries?—(Cheers.) By Con servative principles we mean the rescuing from threatened danger our Protestant establishments.—(Cheers.) Nay more, we mean the infliction, if we can, of " a heavy blow and a great discouragement" upon those principles which are antagonist to the establishment of the Protestant faith in these realms.—(Loud cheers.) By Conservative principles we means the maintenance of our settled institutions in Church and State—(Cheers)—and we mean also tine preservation and defence of that combination of law, of institutions, of usages, of habits, and manners, which have contributed to mould and form the character of Englishmen, and which have enabled this country in the contentions and fearful rivalry of war to extort the admiration of her enemies— (Cheers)—and in the equally glorious career of peaceful industry, of commercial enterprise, of mechanical skill, of social improvement, have endeared the name of England and of Englishmen in every country of the world to those who seek for the establishment of liberty without license, and look to the maintenance of that pure form of religion which is at once the consolation of the virtuous man, and the best guarantee which human institutions can afford of Civil and Religious Liberty. (The Right Hon. Baronet sat clown amidst loud and protracted cheers. The next toast was, the " Army and Navy." Sir E. KERRISON, on behalf of the Army, returned thanks. Captain GORDON returned thanks on behalf of the Navy. He was most happy in being present on that occasion, when so well-merited a compliment was paid to the Right Hon. Baronet, to whom this country was so deeply indebted. The policy of that Right lion. Gentleman was wise and statesmanlike—(Cheesy—and so long as he pursued his manly course, he might not only calculate upon, but demand, the support of the 313 Conservative members by whom he was now sur rounded.—(Great cheering.) " Rule Britannia," was then sung in excellent style, the company jaining in chorus. The CIIMRMAN next proposed the health of Lord Stanley.—(Great cheering.) In giving his health he gave the health of a Nobleman who preferred principle to place—(Cheers)—and who retired from the coun sels of his Sovereign, as soon as he found that his services were no longer required in the way in which he could alone tender them. The toast was drunk with long continued cheering. Lord STANLEY rose to return thanks, but It was some time before the cheering subsided and permitted him to proceed. The Noble Lord said he felt the reception which they had given him the more sensibly, be.. came to many of those whom he now addressed—perhaps, he might say, to the majority—he had been, by the conscientious discharge of his duty at a prvious period of Isis public life, compelled to stand in opposition. And why did he say that this circumstance gave him greater pleasure than if he were receiving the same mark of respect from those with. whom he had always acted ? Because he felt, with honest pride felt, that they sunk the difference of opinion which had existed in their con_ viction of the honesty of the principle which had brought about the change. It was because he knew that had be been so degraded or so base as to join their ranks from any unworthy personal motive, front any con. , sideration of private interest at the sacrifice or suppression of any p• - _,;0; 6 principle, he would not h ave b een received as he had been o : flat d ay. —(Lnud cheers.)

It was founded on the sense of common dart— ger—(Cheers)—on the conviction of a common interest ; not that ser. did, base, and personal interest which might gratify and profit them as individuals, hit on their conviction, and on their united opinion as to the quarter from which clanger was threatened to our institutions, and. as to the means by which that danger was to be warded otr, and our preserved.—(Loud cheers.)
